The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) continues to cooperate with important institutions. Under the coordination of the Presidency's Presidency of Defence Industries (SSB), a ceremony was held for projects that will contribute to reducing dependence on foreign countries in meeting the needs of the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) and security forces, implementing original, domestic, advanced technology and national solutions, and increasing R&D and technology competence. TÜBİTAK also signed three projects.

TÜBİTAK MAM starts DEKON project

TÜBİTAK Marmara Research Center (MAM) signed the first "Development of New Generation Decontamination Technology Against Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents (DEKON)" Project. The DEKON project will be realized in cooperation with TÜBİTAK MAM, Sun Tekstil and Berko Pharmaceuticals.

Within the scope of the project, it is aimed to develop Reactive Decontamination Materials against chemical and biological warfare agents and to develop, pilot-produce and test these materials in different formulations such as Decontamination Powder, Decontamination Liquid/Spray, Decontamination Wipes/Pads and Decontamination Cream/Lotion with national resources. In the project, TÜBİTAK MAM will be responsible for the development of Reactive Decontamination Materials, the production of Decontamination Powder and Decontamination Liquid/Spray at laboratory and pilot scale, and decontamination effectiveness tests of all products developed in the project with chemical warfare agent simulants, while Sun Tekstil will be responsible for the production of Decontamination Wipes/Pads and Berko Pharmaceuticals will be responsible for the production of Decontamination Cream/Lotion at laboratory and pilot scale.

TÜBİTAK MAM signed a project for the CULP project

TÜBİTAK MAM also signed another contract for the Phase-2 of the Aviation Engine Materials Development Program. The KÜLÇE project will be realized in cooperation with TÜBİTAK MAM, TEİ and PARSAN.

The project aims to create the necessary know-how and infrastructure to develop the alloys, which are mainly used in the aerospace and defense industry sectors, which can only be procured from foreign sources with export approval, and whose supply is therefore critical, with domestic facilities, and to characterize and verify the developed alloys through tests. The project, in which UDI720, CMSX-4 and CM247 LC equivalent alloys will be developed under the responsibility of TÜBİTAK MAM, will last 30 months.

Cooperation with HAVELSAN for synergy project

TÜBİTAK Informatics and Information Security Advanced Technologies Research Center (BİLGEM) also signed for the Synergy project. The Synergy project will be realized in cooperation with TÜBİTAK BİLGEM and HAVELSAN, National Keep and Sakarya University.

The project aims to develop attack and defense platforms in different usage scenarios of electrical energy critical infrastructure systems at Sakarya University National Test Bed Center. With the 2-year project, the vulnerabilities of possible electrical energy critical infrastructure systems will be revealed and a defense solution will be offered against possible attacks.
